Snarkasm, aka @wendy_ferguson on Twitter suggested this telling video, which is a 1967 glimpse of the home office of the future.
Cheesy lounge jazz and anachronistic gender politics aside —"the husband" will arrange the financing of "the wife’s" purchases — the content is rather prescient, touching on online shopping, banking and email. What I love aboout the video is quite how analogue everything is. It serves as a reminder that our keyboard/mouse interactions with machines were not the only way that things might have gone.
